The present outbreak of lower respiratory tract infections, including respiratory distress syndrome, is the third spillover, in only two decades, of an animal coronavirus to humans resulting in a major epidemic. Here, the Coronavirus Study Group...

And the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses designates a name to the virus:
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
Individual isolates to be named
SARS-CoV-2/Isolate/Host/Date/Location
#2019nCoV #covid19

International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses recognizes #2019-nCoV and designates it severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Individual isolates to be named SARS-CoV-2/Isolate/Host/Date/Location.

"Thus, SARS-CoV-Urbani with a particular genome sequence could be regarded as equivalent to a single human being, while the species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus would be on a par with the species Homo sapiens"
